This screening will take place outdoors at Old Tucson, 201 South Kinney Road, Tucson, AZ. Please bring your own seating. Bleacher seating is also available. Tickets are $5 for general admission, $3 for Loft Members and Wagon Wheel pass holders. Tickets can be purchased in advance on the Loft’s website here! The screening starts at 6 p.m. with gates opening at 5 p.m.

SAFETY INFORMATION: Due to the high level of attendance and expected participation in the costume contest, we will NOT be able to allow guns, including all prop guns, into the event. We recognize they can be significant pieces for your Tombstone costumes, but the security and safety of guests and staff in attendance takes priority.

Get ready for a cinematic showdown at this special outdoor screening of the 1993 Shot at Old Tucson classic, Tombstone, shown on the actual “North End” movie set where the film was made! The Loft Cinema’s giant inflatable Solar Cinema screen will be placed next to the famous Reno locomotive, which was used in the film to bring Wyatt Earp & Co. to Tucson, and is one of the most photographed trains in movie history!

Delicious food and drinks will be available for sale, including a full bar, theater snacks, Big Jake’s BBQ sandwiches and tasty “Hot Holliday” drinks (hot cocoa with or without alcohol). And suit up in your finest Tombstone-inspired costume for a pre-show Costume Contest! Experience the rich filmmaking history of Old Tucson up close and personal, right where Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer and Sam Elliot rode the range and made the West wild!

A cult favorite since its modestly successful release in 1993, Tombstone is a highly entertaining western about the legendary battle to deliver justice to a small Arizona town. Kurt Russell turns in a gripping performance as U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer goes for broke with a memorably eccentric performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday. Things begin with Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone, AZ with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst onto the scene to terrorize the town, and Earp realizes he can’t keep his gun belt off any longer, as the action irrevocably hurtles toward the infamous shootout at the OK Corral. Featuring an incredible, all-star supporting cast of tough guys including Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Michael Rooker, Powers Boothe and Charlton Heston, and sporting lush cinematography and a stirring music score, Tombstone is an explosive, slam-bang western that recalls the classics of the genre’s golden age and simultaneously offers a revisionist commentary from a modern perspective. (Dir. by George P. Cosmatos, 1993, USA, 130 mins., Rated R)

Will everyone who buys a ticket be let in? You guys won’t be turning people away at the door well you? I’ve had my tickets for a long time, but I’ll be coming from work. I don’t want to be turned away.
Thanks.

Lisa,
Absolutely! That is why we are encouraging advance ticket purchase. There will be a line for entry for those who have purchased tickets in advance and a couple of additional lines for walk up sales.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend. Current weather prediction has it nice and clear for the evening!

Yes! Chairs, blankets, and water as long as it has not been opened are all welcome. If you bring a water bottle, you will need to enter with it empty and you can fill from our water cambros that we’ll have out. See you Saturday!

You may use your general admission tickets to attend Old Tucson’s regular park hours (10 a.m. – 5 p.m.). However, you need to purchase an event ticket to the movie itself through the Loft’s website if you wish to attend the film, as it is not part of our regular park activities. Thanks!

No, you do not. The gates open at 5 p.m., which is after park operating hours. The only thing you need to purchase to attend the movie is the $5 ticket on the Loft’s website: https://loftcinema.org/film/tombstone/
